really inspired me. I did not have a stamp with flowers on a stem that would fill the card this way though. So I used two small flower stamps, one from Petite Petals and one from Roses in Winter. I started the card by sketching, very lightly inn pencil, some stems with breaks for the flowers along them. In that area I sponged just the tiniest bit of Pistacio pudding ink. I then stamped the flowers with large and small where I thought they looked good (all flowers are stamped off at least once). Then I went back and stamped the small leaf from Vintage Vogue. I spritzed the blue around the card with the marker and the holder (for the life of me I cannot remember what we call that thing). Stamped a Sympathy sentiment and added some of the small flowers and a little branch on the inside as well.

Lovely sympathy card, Pat. Like the soft look of all the flowers and yet how you got many different values with your stamping. You did a magnificent job of creating the stalk flowers by combining your sketching and stamping.
